Something is Happening

...Something peculiar has been happening at Camp the past few weeks. The llamas seem restless and unsatisfied with simply roaming around Camp and eating the soccer field. We gave them a laptop for Christmas to try and settle them down a little bit. I don't know though, they seem to be pretty shifty-eyed every time I see them...I think they're making plans for something big, but no one knows for what! We'll keep you updated on the status of their plans.

Until then, keep checking back for more information!


See! He's creepin' around the corners!

Campers give back to the Community

Over this past weekend, a few of our campers were involved in the Helping Hands Gala in Austin, TX.

For 117 years, Helping Hands has provided a place to heal for abused, neglected, and abandoned children. The Helping Hands Gala is one of the organizations primary fundraising events for the year and we are very proud of our campers for helping out with this worthwhile cause. Its also nice to see them so dressed up!

Rain drops keep falling on my head…

Or in our case...they keep falling on Lake Ted





We are all excited here at camp because we have some big news!

Our very own Lake Ted is officially full. The recent rains have made a beautiful difference here. Camp is looking so fresh and green. The water has even reached the Wedginator, our water slide, which hasn’t been able to be used in quite some time due to the low lake levels. We are praying that Lake Travis will also continue the rise back to normal. It has made some progress, but still has a little ways to go. We would like to send a big “Thank you” to our families, campers and staff for your prayers for rain. We will keep you updated as the fall continues.

In the mean time, enjoy the some more pictures.

On the road again...

October has come again and a few of the camp team find ourselves loading up the suburbans and hitting the road. We will be traveling from the flat plains of West Texas to the windy parts of Oklahoma and around our own backyard, the beautiful Texas hill country. We will even be traveling to Arkansas for a little bit this fall. For Todd, Martin, Ann, and Katie and I we are excited to see all our camp friends. We are also looking forward to meeting new ones. What can be more PHUN than bringing your friends to work with you at camp?!? SO, please check the dates on www.campiscool.com or give us a call in the office to find out when we are visiting your area. And get ready, as we bring a little Camp Balcones Springs PHUN to spice up your semester!

Summer 2009 in the books!

Another summer has flown by and summer 2009, our 17th season, is now officially in the books. The full time camp staff are hard at work wrapping up some loose ends with this summer so we can get started on preparing for 2010.

We are so thankful to our loving staff for how hard they worked this summer. We appreciate each of you and are thankful you chose to serve here at CBS. We wish you the best this fall as you return to work and to school.

We are also ever so thankful for our camp families. Without your trust in us, camp would not be possible. We thank you for sending your kids to camp this summer here at CBS. We have been truly impacted for the better through spending time with your children this summer!

God is so very good. Our hope is that regardless of whether you worked as staff or attended as a camper that you were challenged to grow deeper in your knowledge of Christ. We love all of our staff and camper families and look forward to hearing what is going on in your lives throughout the year.
